about

Music is like a story, a journey, a path. It begins, goes somewhere in
development, be it in song or in musical variation etc. Music is also manipulation
of sound. It is used to help in our lives- to express emotion, as an aid to manual
work, or latterly, as part of a broader canvas of mediums, which we find in the
digital world, ranging from computer games to screen, to the very modern stage
itself. This is a new world for music. Those that travel it must have courage as
they explore its many paths. Some paths will wander to nowhere. But amongst
those paths is the one path to the future. Only those in the future can tell which
path was the right one. They can look back and see.
All journeys have a direction. Our journey through life is fruitful when we have a
strong anchor in the past and a point in the future to which we aim. We can then
dance, in the present, on this definite path, in much the same way as a piece of
cloth can dance on a clothes-line which is firmly anchored at each end. If one end
falls, the cloth will no longer dance in the breeze.
Bernard and Brendan are well anchored with a realization of the importance of
past tradition and it’s sounds of music and language. They have the courage to
explore as they strive for the musical future. Only time and those in the future
will know if they are on the right path. But I can say that I enjoyed wandering
their current path, catching glimpses of stuff that resonates with my own life’s
path but which I had forgotten or blithely ignored. It is worth listening to this cd.
I enjoyed the experience. Gurab fada buan iad. Peadar Ó Riada. Feabhra 2018
